HAPPY 54th BIRTHDAY, DAD!!!

On January 15th, 1954, the world was changed in the Avery family. Phillip Henry Avery was born. I don't have any pictures to show you of that wonderful day since I wasn't there LOL and I'm sure he is probably glad of that (he knows I would post them hee hee) 20 years later he would go on to marry my mom and 3 years & 2 children later I would appear on scene. I am in no way good with words so I'm not going to even try. I just want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD!!!
Here is a poem I found, Dedicated to you DAD!

MY DAD

As I ponder the love that I saw in his eyes,
A Godly love, given without compromise....
I recall many times that he stood by my side,
And prodded me on with great vigor and pride.
His voice ever confident, firm and yet fair,
Always speaking with patience, tenderness and care.
The power and might of his hands was so sure,
I knew there was nothing we couldn't endure.
It's true, a few others provided insight,
Yet, he laid the foundation that kept me upright.
He's the grandest of men to have lived on this earth,
Although he's not royal by stature or birth.
He's a man of great dignity, honor and strength.
His merits are noble, and of admirable length.
He's far greater than all other men that I know,
He's my mentor, my friend, my hero,
HE'S MY DAD!

I LOVE YOU, DAD!

You may not find this interesting but I SURE DO!!!! Zachary loves to play with glasses and my mom found these. They used to be my dad's. Boy do they sure look like a natural on Zachary...little outdated maybe hee hee.

HAPPY 8th BIRTHDAY, ABIGAIL!

Eight years ago today our lives were changed forever! We began the journey of parenthood. Abigail was born at 12:30 AM. While everyone was worrying about having electricity and all that with Y2K we were waiting for our new bundle of joy to be born. What an experience she gave us! She was SOOOO anxious to get here that she 'tried' to appear along the highway but Grandma & Great Grandma made sure that DIDN'T happen. While I'm not going to go into detail I will say it was an experience I will NEVER forget. Let's just say there was no time for epidurals that morning. Abigail barely let us make it into the delivery room.....anyway.....HAPPY 8th BIRTHDAY, BABY GIRL! Mommy & Daddy are so proud of you! You are very special to us...we love you lots!
